CORNWALL restored by the vicar; it has a cathedral-like arrangement of choir and nave, the choir being reached by steps. The font, 1473, deserves notice, and also the fine sandstone coffin lying in the churchyard. It is still rumoured in the village that Crantock was once a large and busy port, with many houses and churches, at a time when the Gannel was navigable; but that it was overwhelmed with sand during a great storm as a punishment for the sins of its people. An atmosphere of thoroughly Cornish quietude and romance hangs over the hamlet; there is no public-house, and apparently only visitors desire one. The inbred superstition of the Cornish may be found at its best in spots like this, and some rather eerie ideas cling around the sandy creek that separates old-fashioned Crantock from modern Newquay. Creed. (See Grampound.) Crowza Downs, in the Lizard district, are famous for their masses of diallage or "gabbro" rock. Crowza means " crosses ". (See St. Keverne.) Cuby {i m. S. of Grampound) was once a separate parish, but is now amalgamated with that of Tregony, Cuby being the dominant partner. The dedication is to that Kebius or Cybi whose memory also survives in the Welsh Caergybi and Llangybi. He belonged to the Cornish royal stock. St. Nunn or Non was his aunt, and we find the Latinised form of her name on the famous Tregony stone, now placed at the S.W. angle of Cuby Church. 90
